Hey guys, welcome to today's video. I always think it's important to open up and share topics like this as this will encourage more people to speak about their own mental health problems. For me travelling has been the best thing I have ever done however over the last few years of travelling on and off and I do think that travel has had a negative impact on my mental health.
I always feel like I'm searching for more, for whats next and often feel lost and confused about the direction that I'm taking in my life. I big part of this feeling I believe is caused from travelling as my perspective on life has been taken further than the town I grew up in so I have seen and experienced more things that make me questions my 'purpose' in life and I am constantly self questioning and analysing myself.
Let me know if any of you have experience similar feelings and thoughts. I often find these thoughts and emotions difficult to control but I am trying to get better by truly living in the present moment.

Mate, I don’t know if you’re going to read this as this video is a couple years old now. It’s 1am and I’ve been binge watching your videos and I swear to you, your words, feelings, stages you had to go through everything you said and been thru resonate with me. It’s shocking how much I can relate to this. Travelling has been my biggest passion ever since school (I’m 31 now), I’ve evolved as a human but I can honestly say that my trips/ roaming around the planet have fuc**d me up big time. I went thru a very bad period, my mental health spiralled our of control during the pandemic which led to depression eventually. Everything you say does make sense. Travelling has changed me. I can’t see myself ever working 9/5, those corporate jobs, every time I am in London I start overthinking too and question myself, what I am doing, where I am headed and I end up being a miserable cu*t. The pressure of fitting the mould, career ladders, feeling like an alien, not being able to slot back in etc. It’s like I’m adrift and that came off the back of travelling. Social media has also the same effect on me. Seriously I could go on on and on forever. I wish Id found out about u and your videos back in 2020 when I had my mental breakdown, it would have made me feel less lonely. Incredible how much I can relate. After years and years of travelling, going back to ‘real life’ has been really challenging, I’m better now but still feeling out of place, if you know what I mean, almost disassociated from society around me, scared of future, constantly asking myself ok what’s next?!? Draining.
Anyway, I hope you’re doing well now! I’m very bad at expressing myself too, I just wanted you to know that you’re definitely not alone! 👍🏻
Man that sounds crazy. How are you doing now and what strategies did you devellop to cope? Your message resonates with me as I traveled 7 months SEA this year and seen and kearned things I never can unlearn. You message scares me a bit too to be honest, because those emotions are really strong and people can break down on them.
I’ve struggled mentally in the past and coming back from a skiing holiday and going back to school is awful. I fully understand you and hope your doing well now
Keep travelling
Brings me comfort hearing someone share the same thoughts as myself. I hope you know that you’re not alone too bro.
Yep. Just got back from Australia and am pretty freaking depressed. You get there and have a blast, eat good food, enjoy interesting people, go outside, explore, try new things, actually hang out with your person, then you go home and punch the clock. It’s super hard bc it shows you what life can be and then what we’ve made it be. 😕
I'm 52 and live in London. Trust me life is full of worries. Family, financial, work temporary crisis. It's very rare not to feel burdoned. Introspection didn't start in the last ten years. Life is tough but is sustained by family and the feeling now and again that things are O.K in the moment (not looking beyond that). Good luck and take care. You're a good bloke, try not to think too much.
I actually came across this now, on my solo work trip for the month of January -- it's my first day here and I'm all alone, away from my family, my boyfriend, my dogs and I know it sounds stupid perhaps but I truly can't stop thinking how the past few years of my hard work are coming to fruition now and I'm living the life I'd have killed for a few years back but now that it's here... I don't want it? It's not just that it's different, it's also that I'm different because so much has happened and it changed how I think about life and I'm honestly reconsidering whether I want to live my life like this-- always traveling alone around the world in order to be able to do my artistic work but sacrificing the joy I feel when I'm home, with people that matter to me. To some, it might sound pathetic but I lost my dad a year ago and I actually hate how little time I had with him in his last year because of my constant travels and I'm never going to get that back.
Thanks for being open, honest and transparent. I share with you the same issues. I want to thank you also for taking me through a difficult time. I've been down and not feeling all that great. With whats going on the concern and anxiety shoots that up to the max. I watched four of your videos and it helped me through a particularly hard night. I'm ok physically and at a better place mentally. Thanks so much.
This is one of the best videos of your cause the way you have talked about mental health is a very essential topic right now and your viewers might be suffering from this, they might relate with you and can be inspired. So, keep inspiring, keep travelling 🚶♂️🚶♀️❤️👍
I just came back from a little trip to spain to meet some of my friends that are doing erasmus there and i came back yesterday feeling depressed af. Not because it was an awful experience, but the opposite. I love travelling and as you say, the freedom of doing whatever you want, meeting new people, new places, new connections, new everything, makes you live in the present. The exposure to other ways of life and completely different ways of living makes you open your horizons and ask what your purpose is in life. With so much out there to know, it makes it hard to not be depressed when you are forced to be back in your routine.
Exactly. It feels like denying myself.
I can relate to u..take a break from travelling..doing same thing makes us feel monotonous...do other things u wanna do...keep sharing ur thoughts...sharing helps..we love you ❤❤❤
Hey Will! I´ve been dealing with the exact same feelings since I came back from my first backpacking trip in August. I Had my up and downs but I recently spiraled into a big depression again. I´ve been feeling kind of lonely with my thoughts especially because nobody in my surrounding has travelled/backpacked for a long time and therefore can´t really understand my feelings. It´s heartwarming to see that I´m not the only one and feel incredibly understood with everything you just said. I bet you just helped a bunch of people to be seen and that´s beautiful. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your inner world with us. I hope you´re better now! Much love
I've just found your channel, whilst researching for my next backpacking trip. Thankyou so much for sharing this video. I am forever fighting with my thoughts of what I 'should' be doing in life and questioning why I can't settle. You have summed up all my thoughts and it's reassuring to know I'm not alone with this. Just wish I'd seen this sooner.
You are not alone. I love when you express yourself. Keep this kinda stuff
Don't worry just enjoy every little day. STAY POSITIVE .LOTS OF LOVE AND HAPPINESS. 😢😢😢🤗🤗😘
yo ma pani gurung ho
Bruh! You are our inspiration! Stay safe and stay positive ❤️
I'm so sorry that you have had to go through depression but it's good that you have opened up and started talking about it. This is something that I never did in the past and made the big step to finish my life off with a high volume of tablets. Luckily, a friend realised what had happened and called an ambulance. I now look back at the time and realised that I should have just opened up. You have, and will go on to help a lot of people with this honesty....I salute you and wish you the best for the future......you seem to have a lot going for you and are a great mentor!
Hi John, thank you for opening up and sharing your message. I'm sorry to hear you tried to make the big step but also very happy to hear that you had a good friend nearby to help. Stay strong and I will continue to share my message :)
Thanks for sharing with us Will! Your such a brave and kind-hearted person! Hope to see you soon traveling again!
Life’s purpose doesn’t always have to be bigger and greater. Just look back at your life so far. You will definitely find the purpose of your existence in each event that occurred in your life and by connecting those events, you will know what was your purpose there. It just doesn’t end there, your existence has more purposes in the future too. I have been through your stage too but there’s only one thing that we should learn from this-to never give up. Stay safe and happy Will 🙏🏼
And sometimes your purpose in life evolves as you grow.
Whatever you said is genuinely authentic and relatable... The more you travel, the more you broaden your mind, your perceptions and your purpose in life... it is impossible to embrace all your enthusiasm as you see more and more... you should know this fact and I am sure that you know it well... just take your time... in life, you walk, you run, you get tired, you take rest, you resume and walk again to your destiny... I am not even as good as you in expressing my feelings but eventhough I dared to write this just because you are very authentic and I have not evidenced any anyoing contents from you yet.. keep on rockkng man... 👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing this with us... Will🙏
Very few men talk about their mental heal issues and for you to openly talk in your CZcams video and reach out to many others in your situation is just great. Well done you! 👏👏👏 like you said speaking about it helps you rather than suffering in a silence. I know it’s not the same but I had a postnatal depression after I had my daughter back in 2012. I couldn’t understand why I was feeling like that until I spoke to my husband. My friends and family were so supportive and I couldn’t believe how easy it was once you open up to somebody. My advice is don’t plan anything especially during this lockdown. Just go with the flow, be kind to yourself, have faith in god that he has a great plan for you and just enjoy every little things. And don’t stick to routine. Change your environment. Even if it’s having lunch in the garden. Every day is a blessing! So cherish it! God bless you 🙏
It is impossible to get a heart from him..😔
Now prove me wrong😏
Bruh anish
Ohh don't be depressed.... You're lucky because you're enjoying every moments of your life..do everything that makes you happy lots of love from nepal🙂🙂🙂
100% not a weirdo. Mental health needs to be discussed as much as possible. I haven’t traveled as much as you. I was never encouraged to travel by my parents and I only started to venture abroad 18 years ago when I turned 30. I was bought up to get a job, get married, buy a house and all that happy crap.
Great video mate, really enjoyed what you had to say. 👍👍👍
Very impressed by this video. Finally I realise I am not the only one and someone understands how I feel. Your comment that travel can be a cause of mental health issues set I bell off in my head and I said that's it !!
I uprooted my life sold everything and moved to Venezuela in 2013. It was the best time of my life, big change but lovely people, best scenery, lots of sun and I loved living there. Due to the issues with government and personal reasons, it got to a point that we could not afford to live and I had to come home .
You are right untill you have all the free life taken away everything is normal and you don't know any different.
But it affected me so much coming back and I had terrible crippling depression. I try hard everyday to look forward and find new exciting this to do and places to go but I will never really recover from all my dreams that were taken.
Noone ever really understood and it was so hard to explain.
All your travel volgs are fantastic and informative. You seems like enjoying a lot during those moments💗 so let it be and do always what you love to do 🙏.
Well I just want to say. I’ve been struggling recently and went and bought myself an mpv to have a mini camper and escape. I stubbles across your vids and now I watch a bit of will most nights. You’ve helped me loads. Also I completely hear you. After all my travel and living in ozz returning home to “normal” and hearing the common everyday chat on repeat blows my mind. I think it’s just about being free and being around like minded people, but yes, totally turns your world upside down x
Thank you, for opening up more young men need to see this and perhaps we won’t loose so many wonderful young guys to suicide, everyone has bad times and talking about it often helps , I finally spoke out about my feelings and mental state and oh boy did it help , You will find your good place more and more , keep up the vids love them. Stay safe and well , Ray
I think you are a person always passionate for something ,don't loose your control.Be strong ,forget to be depressed.
Thank you man. I just returned from a really big travel and going through a hard time as well. You summarized very clear alot of things going through me right now and i think there‘s alot of people in this generation going through that. But i am sure, it is necessary, to understand where to go! Cheers!
It is absolutely ok not to feel ok Will. Hope you will someday find positivity and peace through travelling which is your big passion. Please keep making travel videos after all this pandemic ends . Would love to see more of you and your experiences.
I have been through the same situation few years back after travelling. The journey was beautiful and I still feel like to do it again but there were things at the same time I could not stop myself from being negative about. It took me more than a year to overcome such negative feelings. While overcoming it, I tried to stay positive multiple times, even forced myself to be positive; until I found out what I was trying was toxic positivity. Afterward, I started to ignore those things but it did not work. Then I started accepting things the way they are. This even didn't work but surely helped alot to ease the thought process. I started doing things that my inner heart said. And it was really helpful to be honest. The most helpful act to overcome those negative thought was I believed myself without force. Actually its okay to feel what you are feeling but the important thing is you should never lose hope or quit. Thanks for reading this far, I hope this helped you.
Hey Will. You’re very strong man. Thank you for being so honest. Let it out spit it out and live in the preset. Don’t worry about the future. Enjoy life in whatever form you are. I think that’s when you’ll start appreciating life. Whenever you’re down remember how fortunate you are compared to all the developing countries you’ve visited and their struggles. Wish you good luck.
You do make sense 🙏.. life is just about living at the moment, you feel sad because you might be worrying about something that do not exist (past or future). Loved your video.... just dance around life and feed your soul.
And of course when travelling, particularly alone, there's a lot of empty time where your brain can just fester and repeat itself. I used to find while travelling I might come to a really amazing view, for example looking down into a valley of trees as far as my eyes could see. But I often felt in those moments that something was missing. And it was company. Just someone to appreciate the amazing scenery with, and knowing that that memory would be in someone else's head as well as mine.. And I really believe that our own brain can often be our biggest enemy. It rarely gives you a break.
It sounds simplistic but maybe you should think about getting a dog. Someone to love, someone to love you back. I got myself a pug, who I named Ronald in 2018 and he's snoring at my feet as we speak. We depend on eachother, and feeling his warmth gives me comfort. I highly recommend that you give the idea some thought.
Just avoid a barker! Probably not ideal when you're trying to be stealth.
Thank you!!! Same here, came back after four years overseas back to Germany. It's been three month and November is especially hard because there is literally just darkness. The only light is my African friend I met here in my new school. She is from Ghana, has three children, a husband and she's the strongest (mentally) person I've ever met. She is a blessing. Her perspective of life, of family, of the social world gives me hope . She has values we westerners lost a long time ago. And its that only person, not my family, not my old friends, it's her who keeps me up.
But still - I'm still waiting to get over this "Post Travel Depression" Thanks for the video, it is very helpful to me to see that I am not alone with that!
Will, you are a source of inspiration to many of us. Remember the day when you started your CZcams Channel, now you have 73K subscribers like me, that's the thing you have to rejoice about, cheers.
i´m right back from Gran Canaria student exchange. You are not alone brother. I feel a little bit isolated in my home town. But yeah we will get used to it, trust the process man and keep it up! Amazing video.
💪
Totally get it!!! Thanku for reaching out 💗🙏
Dont get depressed bro, enjoy every moments u can. Try to compramise on the dreams which cant be fulfilled 😊😊
Post travel depression. It’s a thing. I suffered from it for about two years after I came back. I found a video of a travel blogger talking about it. That made me feel normal. And here is another one. It will help someone out just like it did for me . The lockdowns have really kicked all this up again for me and I just want to go and be free. That’s what I’ve worked out about it, that feeling of freedom. I only get it when long term travelling and I crave it a lot. I found you while looking for packing list videos for trekking. Then I seen your car conversion. I said to my husband ‘this guy is you ‘ (he hasn’t done it yet but he bangs on about it). Then I seen this video and I thought ‘this guy is me’ 😂. I’ve liked watching some of your videos but this one was really great (in a weird way).
Just watched this Will... most impressed. You DO express yourself incredibly well and cover a topic that's increasingly important with great candour and knowledge. I will get back to you soon ... l'm very busy ... for the moment keep on with your quest ... and all the best
U r not alone will...i am also struggling wid mental health issue but we need to be resilience n allowing uncertainty....i am sending lots of love n strength from the Himalayas of nepal 🇳🇵...love u bro
I'm not much of a traveller but I can relate to most of what you are going through. These endless thoughts of self doubt and doubts on whether you are making the right decisions. Maybe trying not to control the situation too much could help. Goodluck!
Thank you for sharing. I think it’s tough to go have a beautiful care-free time wherein we focus basically on intuition and inspiration when deciding what to do next -then come back to the daily grind where none of what needs to get done at home or work carries that same sense of fun or surprise of following our hearts. A bit drab coming back and I totally understand. Made me question if I should completely switch professions. Thank again for putting yourself out there and being honest.
Sir Biggest Love from Nepal🇳🇵🏴
Stay safe and strong
Ohh... dont fell depress
Enjoy every second and minute of your life so that nothin can disturbe your peace of your mind...you are the only man who can make all the viewer mind positive ....love you from ...NEP...
I really appreciate you for speaking out, no way that is weird by any sense. We all have our dark days and days when we are down and out , init? I guess those moments when we sit back and analyse and think about ourselves, come handy in lot of ways. We get to know where we exactly are and where we need to be. Lived in England for a while and now I’m back in Nepal. I can exactly feel where you coming from when you say you’re down. I would just say, don’t worry at all mate, you are doing a brilliant job. There are plenty of people like me, who look upto you for inspiration. Carry on with your good stuffs mate. Life’s beautiful and it has its own way of healing stuffs. This pandemic I would say, could have a huge role triggering what you feel. Everything’s gonna be alright. Looking forward for your journey of camper van thingy. Who knows, your love for Nepal could bring you back once again to Nepal in your camper van. Wouldn’t that be epic mate?
God bless you
Cheers mate !
Love this....I'm always thinking of the next adventure. Bloody hate working, but needs must 😮
i love your openess and honesty ..i can relate to your frame of mind im new to your channel and can see that you are a good soul ...ive been through lots of things in my life and depression is the hardest thing ive come up against ..i wish you tranquil thoughts will .
Thanks so much I appreciate your message!
You’re definitely not weird…it’s so important to talk about this stuff! Well done for uploading this 😃
I know where you are coming from !! But It has helped me a lot and gave me a purpose.... but I totally understand what you just said there.
Just stumbled across your channel typing the wrong name and I am so glad I did. You might not read this and I won't blame you but this is where I'm at. I can relate in a way as I'm in a job I hate but stuck paying bills since I was 19 from circumstances out of my control, I don't want to live a life where I work ungodly hours just for food on the table and a roof over my head, I think to myself "is this really it?", "what's the point?". I've been so down about it but what's pulling me out the other side is creating a plan or a project; which I'm half way through! I sold everything, I'm converting a van and going to work as I travel OR I can put myself forward to do an apprenticeship in something I enjoy. It has helped a lot. What I've learned in my short 22 years is life is TO ME, life is all about your inward perspective. No view or person makes you feel, you have the final say. Maybe, just maybe you can practice by focusing on the positives out of your day and feeling good about them. If you're looking for a purpose, just know you've eased my mind knowing that there's other "happy" or "positive" people that feel the way I am too. You're a remarkable person, you've shown many people a different way of living (judging by a scan over your channel), your viewers can escape their 9-5 by watching your travels. Thanks again for this video and good luck mate, I'll be following this channel! 🤙
dont worry sir we are with you just enjoy every day, stay safe be positive .lots of love .
You will be alright... 😊believe in yourself and do what makes you happy and your surroundings... ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Lots of love, take care pal! ❤️
Bee strong bro...❤️ love you from 🇳🇵 enjoy the every single time god bless you !
they dude, i like your videos. The meaning of life is the same in britian as anywhere else, it's to create.
keep up the work.
I missed your laughter Will.i quote. “Mero naam Will ho” , 😃. I know its hard , as i saw your previous video , you work hard to travel and its hard to balance especially work and travel. If you want to travel , your life won’t be easier. You need to be prepared for that unless you have a plan B. So , live it (life) and leave it( problems). Luv you bro💕 Give no space for depression, it doesn’t suit you . find your happiness in little things as you were doing it in Nepal and spread your happiness through video, it definitely reach to us even though you dont realize it. It has. #loveloud💕
In this day and age we have sooo much freedom, it's a blessing and a curse. We only have one life to live, and I worry that no matter what path I take, I leave something else behind. Sometimes I think the regular life would be nice, but that's just not me. Hope you are doing better now. You're not alone!
Stay positive bro...dont think so much take care love from Nepal
Stay positive will ❤ we will be supporting you always 😁
very interesting: please more of these opened thoughts!
Hi Will. Sorry to hear about your depression. I do go through existential crisis every once in a while where I wake up crying and questioning everything about life. Why we do what we do? What is my purpose? Why am I here? I do a lot of self-reflection and questioning my awareness of life. Sometimes, I wished I didn't have this awareness. It would be easy not to think, not to care but I have come to accept myself in everyway now and enjoy these existential crisis moments. Mindfulness has helped me a lot in this process. I recommend you to do some mindfulness practices, if you want. I have also come to the terms that I don't need to have answers for all my questions about life. Life is to be lived as it comes with best intentions, and letting go of what we can't control. I am a Counsellor and a Social worker and I work with most vulnerable group of people. I hear the most darkest and scariest stories of people and their resilience always amazes me. You got this Will. Don't stop questioning, but if you don't find answers, let go of the questions. You are a beautiful soul and everyone cam see through it. We do what we can and you are already doing your best. Happy to have chat on mental health or life in general, if you ever feel like reaching out. 💙💙💙
Don’t overthink will. Take it easy. Sometimes thinking more doesn’t do anything good to you. Look at others. Stay close with your closed ones like families and friends . I used to think a lot for myself also same feeling I had as yours in your age but now I am okay . In life just don’t do anything bad . You will be fine .
Hi Will, I’ve just started watching your blogs, they’re very inspiring to the younger generation and very honest. I’m from the generation of old farts now and still have my moments. Solo traveller in a Motorhome. Loving every minute of it until lockdowns, now completely down, would be getting ready to go to Spain now but not going to happen. Keep strong and keep safe. 🤪
Hi Peter, old farts have wisdom snd much advice to share with the younger generation if we’re willing to listen and I know I am! Safe travels and I hope you can get back on the road soon
I love travelling alone you do live for the moment and it does open your mind. Depression is not just a mood it takes your soul ive been through times when I don't want to get out of bed I'm stuck. Put on a brave face battle through but thankyou for sharing 🙏 I'm.getting a galaxy 😄
you are speaking my mind ...love it...keep going brother 💜💜
Hi bro!
Think positive always.
For me travelling its so good,u have more benefits to haveit. to explore around the world its more excitement.
Purpose its about "calling of your heart" follow your heart and u will be fine💜💜💜.
I hope you can able to visit here on Philippines, its our pleasure to have you here.
May the God bless you always 🙏
Amazing video. It is nice to hear this.
It's a difficult time . An outbreak like this happens every 100 years so we must stay strong .
Stay strong & positive Will
Watching you traveling all alone, that inspired me😊
Stay safe brother 💕
Lots of love from Nepal, be positive 💕
Mate don't worry we are with you
It takes real strength to have this conversation. Thanks for your thoughts.
Will thanks for sharing your feelings about traveling. I think it's a good thing you are sharing that traveling is not always positive.
I completely agree that there is some negative aspects to travelling. Especially people who extensively travel. I think there needs to be a balance in everything, to really enjoy things in life. I taught English abroad and travelled alongside but I felt burnout in my second year of travel. Don't get me wrong I also love traveling and experiencing different cultures but maybe it was being away from home and traveling alone which maybe made it more unenjoyable for me. My travels felt repetitive and pointless sometimes. The relationships you build can be temporary and so on.
Hiking was a saviour in my travels.It's great excercise and it made me feel that I accomplished something when I reached to the top.
But whenever I am back home with my family I feel the itch to travel again and staying in one place feels pointless/restricting.
Anyway I am also trying to find purpose and what I want to do by volunteering. I am also working on personal development by doing online courses. Good luck! Keep yourself busy. Have a goal to work to. Eg: your van, etc. Try keeping gratitude journals.
I spent a week in Japan in October and 4 weeks with my family in Nepal and now I’m back in Sydney for 2 weeks. I feel sad, initially, I thought I was homesick, now I think this has extended to existential crisis. I felt every word you said. I can’t mind meaning in pursuing my mundane career anymore just to pay the rent and the bills. Something I also noted is how we put on mask here in the west and not really show who we are. In the east, people are quite raw, they also have many flaws but they are real to themselves. You can’t even show your sad face to people here and I’m sure everyone is feeling the same. I read many comments and made me feel comforted that what I feel is a natural process we all go through
That's what I'm struggling with too. I cancelled a corporate job bc it felt like I wpuld be their posession.
Which is my own trigger bc I would get paid for it but I could not commit myself after my 16 year former job.
Idk what to do
My savings are almost through but I'm fantazing to rent cheap studio in Spain view on beach and palm trees.
I would get my large deposit back and in Spain everything is somewhat cheaper but. .I would need income.
Also, after the covid vaccinations I had extreme tiredness and sonething changed in my energy.
I'm in difficult insecure tlmes. It feels like I'm working hard, mentally.
I can see where you coming from mate
Stay strong
You gonna find the answers
I haven't traveled for may b more than a month. Even in those short period of traveling, when i came back home, i kinda used to feel sad. Of courses because while traveling We enjoy every moment. But back home, we have to do the routine works for surviving. In this sense, yes, traveling can have negative impact too. Beacuse it takes us away from our reality. But life becomes easier when we accept the reality. Take care will.
You're a righteous dude. Thank you for being brave and sharing.
You take care mate - lots of love.
Oh, and thanks for the cool and inspiring videos. Obvs :P
You are young. You can do whatever you want , never give up in life .
You inspire me to travel and live happy

Will, we are all feeling our way in the dark. London city life made me depressed also. I'm 65 and now married and living in Nepal, but still searching, as it's part of the human condition. Be positive and as Buddha said try to " Live in the present".
be positive darling all ur video is doing well full of energy and reality which gives everyone smile on their face i think u must do wat ur heart said to do leave the tension aside grab the camera and shoot ...we always love and support you be calm and relax...xxx
Hi, Will: We all feel like, we are lost, that the world doesn't make and often wonder why we're here, which is easy to do when we over think everything. But, if we look at what is in front of us, in the present then the rest will take care of, it's self. Whenever, I'm feeling overwhelmed, I give my problems up to God and lean on him for support. My life gets better, and I don't worry about what I can't change call my best always.
Hi. I understand you. A few days ago I returned from a 600-day trip around the world. I rented an apartment because life forced me to do so. And well... I can't even unpack my backpacks. I don't feel good, I don't feel like this is for me. A few days pass at my new job, and I read travel magazines and check ticket prices every day. I promised myself that I would stay here for at least 3 months. But I don't know if it's a good idea. Crazy time man, crazy time.
Dmn I'm in same mood although zi never backpacked but after sellingy house and unexpectedly lost my steady job I tasted freedom in my mind my days.
I stayed home and travelled a bit but the room to plan my day and think about my dreams etc enjoying small things like checking my stocks on a terrace with coffee, lunch. The freedom..no demanding impulses etc. but..also depressed, alone, feeling less bc I lost my status in society. Grief, insecure, creativity, everything is possible, loss of savings, frustrated, perfectionism to have my life in order ( bc I had the same steady job and own apartment for years but now renting expensive and no job).
I declined 2 jobs. I beated myself up and afraid of selfsabotaging but then again I talk to myself nope. You always get back on your feet no matter what.
I trust myself I will either find the right job match and it will be hard to adjust 😢 or make uo my.mind and move to Spain.
I have been in London for kind of 11 years now . Nowadays I feel exactly same like you . I do think travelling take away the stress quite a bit . Hope for best bruv
I personally think there is not a perfect pathway to take. What is absolutely important to listen to, is your instinct, the other you knows exactly where to go. You simply opened up your soul while travelling, realising that the “system” we live in is not right, which I agree 100% with you. There is nothing to overthink, just follow your inner voice, freedom is the best way to go. 🌹About social media, it depends how you use it, you can follow real simple people, and be yourself on it. Algorithm shows you exactly what your interest is. The older generation didn’t ask themselves those questions because they weren’t allowed to do so. Tradition was a big cage around us. Remember weirdo’s are cool 😎
LOVE YOU FROM NEPAL BRUH !!
Well said Will don’t worry just scream 😱 it out and scare the hell out your depression...stay safe and stay cool
I understand what you mean. You’ve had your eyes opened to the world and you want more.
I get exactly what you’re saying. With the advent of technology life is so much easier in many ways, but in other ways life has become harder. Social media leads to constant feelings of comparing yourself and feeling that you’re not good enough. People are disconnected from nature, from each other, it’s so sad. I recently bought a van and I plan to get out and about for some stealth camping. 😄 hang in there, you have a lot of fans who want you to do well, you’re not alone 🥰
Ever since I moved to live to a different country with my family I’ve tried adapting my life to my personality ( if that makes sense ), from having travelled and now living abroad I’ve come to find that the “normal “ “traditional” way suits me best so I make things remain that way for me. I do understand that to each his or her own and that we are all different, I’m merely telling you what I do
Could we gather for a collective embrace? I've just stumbled upon this video that articulates my emotions precisely for the first time. I feel after many travels, my view of the world and life has changed. And now, I just want a place of calmness and peace.
I’m 100000% on the same page. As I sit here in my hotel in Tulum and I’m crashing after an amazing weekend. I feel you.
Be positive will ...get over from depression. Because it is be danger in your life..it is very bad bcz i experienced it during lock down...many many love from Nepal....💖💖💖💖💖💖
I felt so related to your video! I don’t think you are wrong for not following the “rules” that society what to impose! As long as u are happy, is all that matters, travel didn't get you depressed, come back back to a society that wants you to follow there way of leaving is! Keep doing what makes you happy, and you will make you own pad and ur way of living! Is not a written rule! Stay positive, hope u feeling way better now, remember the Law of Attraction! Loved ur videos! 😘
